Pele and Franz Beckenbauer said Ireland could win the 1994 World Cup.
I think at one stage or another Pele predicted 23 of the 24 teams could win that World Cup, the only one he didn’t tip was Brazil.
Zlatan has more games - approximately 130 to Larsson’s 95.
The vast majority of Larsson’s games came outside the CL.
Re the CL:
Zlatan scored 48 goals in 128 games (0.375 goals/game)
Larsson scored 7 goals in 28 games (0.25 goals/game)
Of course Zlatan would have been in much better teams. Larsson’s records in the lower competitions shouldn’t be written off either.

Can you compile a breakdown of opposition of Larsson’s goals?
I can recall a hat trick against FK Suduva.

He scored two against Porto in the UEFA cup final — that team won the CL the following year If I recall correctly?
Zlatan is a real soccer hipster favourite.

Lionel Messi or Lionel Ritchie?
Unused sub in the biggest game
Yes the player that played in all of the biggest leagues in the world is the hipster favourite and not the lad who spent his prime in Scotland. Good rationale
The match fixing scandal makes his time in Italy look really average.
Henrik played in Scotland for Celtic all his prime and you’re calling Zlatan a flat track bully.

Celtic only won 4 SPL’s while he was there.
You’re a flat track bully, you cunt.
Were Glasgow Rangers not the dominant force in Scotland when Larsson was there?
Surely that’s a damning indictment of Larsson if correct?
Eduard is a better all round striker than Larsson

I never knew Mark Viduka and Luka Modric were first cousins.
If only there was a thread for things that you’ve just learned today.

Larsson succeeded at every club at every level. Nearest thing to a football genius I ever saw in the flesh. Not a complete cunt either like zlatan, who a member of staff at manyoo told me was the biggest wanker they ever had at the club.
It’s not even close.
Larsson spent most of his career playing against binmen in Scotland and then did well as a bit part player at Barca and Man Utd. You’re right when you say its not even close alright
